I'm a Cape Town based South African railfan. I film videos mainly of Class 19D 3322 'Clare' operated by the Ceres Rail Company, but I also have a small collection of videos of Class 24 3655 'Jenny', operated by Ceres Rail, and Class 16DA 879 'Katie', operated by Atlantic Rail before the switch to Ceres Rail.

Die loko is baie goed opgepas en onderhou. Probeer asb die windgeraas op die videos uitsny.
Hou die kamera stil 😂 het julle nie so 'camera stand' of iets nie?
Ek het nou een 😂 Maar daardie video is verfilm net toe ek begin verfilm het.
@@MichaelShannon3322 Ooo oukei nou verstaan ek 😆👍🏻
Could have been decent video--GET YOUR AUDIO TOGETHER
Are you gonna pay for it, buddy? Cause right now I know I can't.
So wonderful to see someone is making the effort to keep these beauties going. Well done.
I once was pulled by a dolly between Vryburg and Mafeking with 13 coaches, the climb out of Vryburg was slow but it didn't slip and once on the planes it was just like the video.
Goeie,ou dae.
I am going to be there in a few days 🙌this is very interesting 😅
Why were there two diesel locos being hauled as well. So many more tons being hauled???
The diesel units are used as the steam loco itself doesn't have enough power to make it over the gradients on Sir Lowry's Pass.
@@MichaelShannon3322 Thanks for info. Perhaps less coaches would solve that problem?? Regards
@@IO-zz2xy Perhaps, although even with 13 coaches, it still is quite busy almost every weekend.
@@IO-zz2xy They actually had to add the 13th coach recently, because it was getting full with only 12.
@@MichaelShannon3322 I'm not surprised. Great news, what a great journey. Regards from Howick, KZN
Nice. Is there no longer a wye in Malmesbury?
As far as I'm aware, no, there isn't
Gee, that oil-burner gives off a mess!
Magnificent catches of the train coming by and pass, I like it 5 stars. Thumbs up. Keep up the perfect work, my friend, just liked and subscribed, Greetings from Portugal to South Africa.
Thanks very much!
@@MichaelShannon3322 no problem.
@@MichaelShannon3322 the trains in your country are amazing.
Nice
The wind was pretty hectic on this day.
Shoutout to everyone who waved in Coach 11!
Keep out of the wind .
Yeah, the problem with that area is that it's out in the open, so there's no real way to avoid the wind
Nice compilation there Michael. I see I make an unknowing appearance 😅
Ah yes, I didn't realise you were filming. I just watched your video from the same day. You got some nice shots in there.
I travelled this route from Cape Town to Elgin on an S&V Camp in 1955, and it was pulled by a single steam loco. Why did this trip have to incorporate the assistance of TWO DIESEL-ELECTRIC units (or so it would seem)? I am now eighty years young, and am still loving everything to do with steamers!
The diesel units are used as the steam loco itself doesn't have enough power to make it over the gradients on Sir Lowry's Pass. Thanks for commenting.
Thank you
Why does it carry the oil thing behind its tender ( l don’t know what it’s called) ?
It's a water tanker. It stores extra water so that the engine can refill at Elgin.
I was thinking it was that because the The Flying Scotsman had it
@@Cool123nt Yes, although Flying Scotsman's one is designed to look like a second tender.
Beautiful train mind go to fast .
I travelled on this line from CT to Botrivier when it was still up and running during the earlygb 1960s, and once from Lebanon siding or Grabouw to CT in early 1967. I was a pupil forester at Lebanon forest st. about 20 km east of Grabouw and was travelling officially to George to study forestry at the foresters college. It took more than 5 hours to reach Cape Town. From there I took the "milk train" to George, slept on the train overnight and arrived the afternoon of the following day. That was the steam train era. Today they would call it laid by. But looking back it was a wonderful era. The landscape was not nearly as built up as today. The steam locos regularly ignited fires in the Grabouw forestry plantations in summer, in spite of spark arrestors.
Ah yes, the golden age of steam. Wish I could've been around to see it.
Interesting, I always wondered when passengers still went on that line.
Clare and Jenny looking gorgeous like ahhhhh. They have a gorgeous black coat and your photos being that out amazingly.❤
Love all the photos and videos 😍. Looking good.
Vão com Deus!❤
Is that from around the 30s? I love old trains, so cool and complicated
Yes, she would have been built between 1928 and 1930. Also, thank you for commenting! This is actually the first comment I've gotten on this channel.
Shoutout to the security guard at the end!
The previous night, on the 11th, Clare had been in Muizenberg doing a film shoot for the western TV show, '1923'. This might explain why she wasn't wearing her name plate that day.
